people who are real. The system is broke and the libs are afraid to tell the country that their centerpiece legislation failed. We dont have tens of trillions of dollars to fix it. Reagan had the best plan in IRA's in the early 80's(glad I started one). Santorum was out front on Health Savings Plans(glad I got one). Dems plan will be to confiscate personal retirement accounts and combined them into the social security program....think I crazy..its all ready been discussed

here's our leader....set up a task force, LOL...no idea's Barry?...maybe open up the gulf for drilling....ANWAR?, hello we already have a 800 mile pipeline to bring it to market.
Didnt he have like 35 job task forces....great "leader". Im sure the task force will consist of Harvard type pinheads who never were in the private sector.

raising taxes will result in $50 Bill/yr.......spit in the bucket. Raising taxes will make hiring even worse.

Latest job numbers were disappointing. Will they be adjusted up such that the reported unemployment percentage will instead stay the same or go down?

BTW: I am not making any judgements about which numbers are right (folks here are never going to agree on it), just asking about the reported number in most of the media of 8.2%.

. . . and from a purely partisan view, is it going to cause problems for President Obama re-election?

. . . or is it still too far off to make that kind of prediction? One hell of lot can still happen in 5 months.

Haven't looked it up - have they scheduled debates yet?

The unemployment number of 8.2% is laughable....The participation rate is at an all time low, something like 5 Million(maybe more now) less jobs than when Obama took office.
Most outlets have the unemployment at 14.8%.

I'm sure they will schedule debates after each parties convention

"Unemployment rates" have always been considered questionable at best and with global unemployment such a huge problem, there's no doubt people will obsess over the seasonal and monthly changes.

And not to be too specific on the details, so as to take away from those who whine like a bitch, but the 14.8% figure tbitch cites is the "U-6" number or; a measure of "underemployment along with unemployment."

Find me a disgruntled construction worker from 5yrs ago and you have someone claiming "underemployment."

Throw in the disappointing manufacturing data with the better than expected 82,000 "private jobs" (the Key, of course) and it's a confusing set of data, ripe for politicalization and completely hollow bumpersticker soundbites by Romney (fuck, was that a hollow and lame CNBC appearance).

But thank God we're not Spain with 24.3% unemployment or Portugal with 15.3%. The rest of Europe is around 11% but then again, pinko Socialist nations should not be trusted with such figures.

Thankfully here in the good old mediocre US, things aren't nearly as bad. Corporate earnings, employment in general, consumer buying, home sales and bank lending are all significantly higher than this time last year, much less this time in 2010 or 2009.

But why bother trying to grasp what's really happening when you can just bitch and whine from the sidelines instead of doing something about it?! So yeah, as tbitch so eloquently put it yesterday when out of responses otherwise, "the economy sucks!"

Why yes it does in many ways.






And we hardly were put into this situation yesterday or as a result of good decision making for the past 25yrs.

People have to stop behaving like baby birds in a nest and expect that "the job market will pick up." They need to take charge of their own lives and do what's necessary to survive. It's about survival now. Not about pensions, benefits, "fit," qualifications, or any of that shit. It's about accepting the responsibility of being a sovereign individual and living like one, rather that assuming that we are entitled to an education, job and retirement. We're not and we never were and we never will be.

too many people getting a handout and not contributing.........things like SS, bleeding to death with the number of "disabled" people added to the rolls in the last few years, food stamps and other federal programs have numbers through the roof.

 

[TheVictors]

I have an idea.

Let's put 3 million people to work building houses when there are no buyers!


(Better yet, let's not put anybody back to work for political gain...)

And when a guy like Walker has the sand to take on the unions and entitlement-brokers, they revolt in shocking indignation: "How dare you demand that we pay our own way like the rest of 'them?' Do you know what we have 'sacrificed' to serve the public good?"

This is America. Land of the free. Not the land of "it's free."

Isn't that the truth.

Yet so many people feel so entitled to everything, without having to work for it... And that goes for the "welfare mother in Pontiac" and the giant corporation seeking to socialize its incompetent management's losses.

"SEN. TOM CARPER (D-DE): We're doing a whole series of things to help stimulate the economy. There are three, four, or five of them pending now - a comprehensive transportation Bill, 2 to 3 million jobs, postal reform, 7 million or 8 million jobs flow from that, FDA reform legislation. It's a variety of things.""


LOL 9-10 Million jobs in 2 bills, LOL c'mon dude get real.

It's endemic. By the way, you owe me. Something. Somehow. Can't quite put my finger on it.
